What Guests Are Saying
Whitefish Horse Camp offers great trails, a beautiful lake, and clean, comfortable campsites. The well-constructed horse stalls enhance the experience, and the host is commendable. However, only one trail was cleared, limiting riding options, and guests would have appreciated better updates on trail conditions prior to their visit.

First of all, the camp hosts are awesome. Jim & Jerry are so nice, their camp is decorated in flowers and they even have flower pots outside the bathrooms. Such a nice touch! And the bathrooms are extremely clean and well kept. For horses, the corals are solidly built and so safe compared to stick-built corals. Trails right out the door. Lake is within walking distance and is horse-friendly. Overall, always a great experience here.

Directional signs stating destination would be helpful. Bees were a problem all summer and fall on Windy Lakes trail near 6010 road. Water was turned off October 3rd even though it wasn’t freezing at night.

The camp was great and the camp host was nice. however shutting the water off without notice was a challenge to get our horses water. Also some trail maintenance is in order.

Very good horse camp. Trails are pretty easy to navigate but better if you have Kim Mccarrel's book. Hint: make copies of Trails ahead of time to carry in saddle bag. Creek crossing near camp host site needs improvement. Most sites are pretty level and easy to back into. Two pit toilets, water at each site or 1 site away. 1 manure dump and garbage dumpster. Trails off the Win Met north of camp were not accessible due to downed trees (over 100) unless you hauled out. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Lots of PCT hikers in the campground and trails. I really like that the corrals here are newer pipe corrals instead of the older wood corrals with chain gates. Also, having water close to each site is great.
Will definitely come back.
